I don't see how the upper class is is taking our Freedom away. I would be scared of course, it the Republicans win, but as right now i feel perfectly free, within the norms of the society. Some things have changed in comparison with the past ( ie the Patriot Act ) but we live in ever changing times and we must adapt to the international scene of events.
I cringe when I see how many are simply giving up Believing in our country, maybe you haven't traveled abroad to see the Difference. We haven't lost our freedom, we have lost our Unity and our Optimism about our future.
Of course I am not saying we shouldn't be on top of things,.or have open discussions and concerns,.but to simply put it as 10 ways US has lost its freedoms is a bit much.
This is my opinion, obviously you can disagree; to each their own.
